TimesLive reports that a Johannesburg Metro Police Department (JMPD) officer was arrested on Monday after he allegedly took a R10 bribe from a taxi driver in Soweto.
JMPD spokesperson chief superintendent Wayne Minnaar said the officer pulled the taxi over near Protea Glen in Soweto for driving without a number plate and a driver's licence. "He was caught red-handed. The internal affairs unit blocked the taxi driver and the taxi driver confirmed. The taxi driver turned state witness against the officer and said he gave the corrupt officer a R10." The officer was arrested and detained at the Protea Glen police station. JMPD head David Tembe, who was "extremely angry" over the incident, said: Gone are the days that officers will take bribe money or cold drink money."
